[/quote]"ribs" as in grooves? I guess they must be good for something, but it seems their main function is to fling rocks at your struts and tailfeathers.[/quote]

I am going to have to operate primarily on a short grass strip and wondered about turf tread tires. Would this improve braking on grass enough for the cost or effort of carving Diamond tread in my own 8.50 X 6s? I see how the grooves would reduce hydro planing on hard surfaces but are there any drawbacks or benifits to the smooth tires on grass. I already have a big dent in my .040 screw-on horizontal leading edge from a flung rock. The 4 x 4 fence posts will do more damage if I dont get stopped.

I changed out my 8.50's to the 26" BW's for the winter. Here are the pics on the size differences. You feel almost invincible with the Bushwheels

Yeah, but you need bigger chocks:)

I was planning on buying some 26" BW's, but that's a deal killer for me.

Damn!!!..... so now I need to whittle some bigger chocks out of those 4x6's! That might take a while, I hope they are big enough!
